The developer forum Stack Overflow introduces a knowledge base tool for companies. It combines curated knowledge with AI support and Microsoft 365 integration. The aim is to serve as a reliable information pool within the company.
Stack Internal aims to to consolidate distributed knowledge within a company into a unified, human-verified base that meets the company's quality standards and compliance rules. AI is used to compile information from sources such as Confluence or Teams. The machine classifies the data upon ingestion and presents it to human reviewers in a sorted and pre-evaluated form. Curators correct the suggestions and approve them.

Close Integration with Microsoft 365
The content of Stack Internal serves, on the one hand, as a basis for AI chat in Microsoft tools, i.e., Office 365, Teams, and the coding copilot for developers. On the other hand, an MCP server enables integration with other GenAI models and agents. Conversely, interactions with the knowledge base are intended to improve and expand the knowledge within it. The provider does not explain how this is to be achieved.
Stack Internal is a further development of Stack Overflow for Teams and runs on Azure. Cloud and on-premises variants are available, including a free one for up to fifty members.
With Stack Internal, Stack Overflow makes a virtue out of necessity: Started as a forum for developers, Stack Overflow had declined to a pure training repository for AI models with the spread of coding assistants. However, the provider Stack Exchange is now marketing the fact that solid training data represents a value of its own.
